2. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF THE HOLDERS. Each Holder, solely on behalf of itself, hereby represents and warrants to the Company and agrees with the Company as follows:
(a) Title. Such Holder is the legal and beneficial owner of the Series B Notes listed opposite its name on Appendix A hereto under the heading “Series B Notes.” Upon delivery to the Company of such Series B Notes, and upon such Holder’s receipt of its Shares, in each case, pursuant to this Agreement, good and valid title to such Series B Notes will pass to the Company, free and clear of any liens free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, options, charges and restrictions of any kind (collectively, “Liens”). Such Series B Notes constitute all of the Company’s Series B Notes beneficially owned by such Holder to the knowledge of such Holder’s investment manager.
(b) Organization and Qualification. Such Holder is or has been duly organized or registered and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was formed, and has the requisite corporate, limited liability company, or partnership, as applicable, power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.
(c) No Public Sale or Distribution. Such Holder is acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or
3
distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act, and such Holder does not have a present arrangement or agreement to effect any distribution of the Shares to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Holder does not agree, or make any representation or warranty, to hold any of the Shares for any minimum period of time or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to or an exemption under the Securities Act.
(d) Accredited Investor. Such Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
(e) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Holder understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Holder’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Holder set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Holder to acquire the Shares.
(f) Information. Such Holder acknowledges that neither the Company nor any person representing the Company has made any representation to it with respect to the Company or the offering or exchange of the Series B Notes for the Shares, other than the representations and warranties of the Company contained in (i) Section 3 hereof and (ii) any other Transaction Document (as defined below). Such Holder and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares hereunder which have been requested by such Holder. Such Holder and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Holder or its advisors, if any, or its representatives, shall modify, amend or affect such Holder’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Such Holder understands that its investment in the Shares hereunder involves a high degree of risk and that it is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such Holder has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to acquire the Shares hereunder, and such Holder confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Holder’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision. Such Holder understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries to the Holder in connection with the acquisition of the Shares hereunder constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Holder has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares hereunder. As of the date hereof, such Holder is not aware of any conditions or circumstances that would cause any of the Company’s representations in Section 3 hereof not to be true and correct in all material respects. The foregoing provisions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the rights that a Holder may have under this agreement.
(g) No Governmental Review. Such Holder understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made
4
any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Shares, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.
(h) Transfer or Resale of the Shares.

(i) Legends. Such Holder understands that until such time as the resale of the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, any stock certificates representing the Shares, except as set forth below, shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY) IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
5
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC or, if the Company is unable to obtain DTC eligibility for such Shares, issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Shares upon which it is stamped, if: (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and that such legend is no longer required, or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurance that the Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.
(j) Validity; Enforcement. The Transaction Documents and the Consent have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Holder and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Holder, enforceable against such Holder in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.
(k) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Holder of the Transaction Documents and the Consent and the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Holder or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Holder is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Holder, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Holder to perform its obligations hereunder.

(m) General Solicitation. Such Holder is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general advertisement.

3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Holder and agree as follows:
(a) Organization and Qualification. Each of the Company and its “Subsidiaries” (which, for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean any entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns capital stock or holds an equity or similar interest such that such entity is consolidated with the Company’s results of operations for accounting purposes) are corporations or other legal entities duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are incorporated or formed, and have the requisite corporate or other organizational power and authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted, except to the extent that such Subsidiary’s failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse change or effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(b) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to issue the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares have been duly authorized by the Company’s board of directors (“Board”), and no further consent or authorization is required by the Company, its Board or its stockholders). This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.
(c) Issuance of Shares. The issuance of the Shares has been duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders of the Common Stock
7
being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holders set forth in Section 2(a) through (g) hereof, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Shares is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
(d) No Conflicts. Except with respect to the Financing Facilities Consents (as defined below) (which are required solely for the consummation or performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement)), the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares) does not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below) or Bylaws (as defined below), (ii) result in a violation of any certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, certificate of designation, bylaw or other constituent document of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, (iii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iv) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market (the “Principal Market”)) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv) above, as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The “Financing Facilities Consents shall mean any consents required under (i) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2011, among the Company and the other parties thereto (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Credit Agreement”) and/or (ii) the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2011, among YRCW Receivables LLC, as borrower, the Company, as servicer, and the other parties thereto (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ABL Credit Agreement” and together with the Senior Credit Agreement, the “Financing Facilities”). As of the Closing Date, the performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares) will not conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a default) under the Financing Facilities.
(e) Consents. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, other than (i) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (ii) the filing with the SEC of one or more Registration Statements and the issuance of effectiveness orders with respect thereto in accordance with the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement, (iii) the filing of any requisite notices and/or application(s) to the Principal Market for the issuance and sale of the Common Stock and the listing of the Common Stock for trading or quotation, as the case may
8
be, thereon in the time and manner required thereby, (iv) those that have been made or obtained prior to the date of this Agreement, (vi) filings required under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and (vii) those Financing Facilities Consents that are required solely for the consummation or performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement). All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected or will be obtained or effected on or prior to, and will be in full force and effect on, the Mandatory Closing Date, and the Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances that might prevent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from obtaining or effecting any of the consent, registration, application or filings pursuant to the preceding sentence. The issuance by the Company of the Shares shall not have the effect of delisting or suspending the Common Stock from the Principal Market. As of the Closing Date, the Companies shall have obtained all Financing Facilities Consents necessary or required for the performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares).
(f) No General Solicitation; Fees of Placement Agents and Financial Advisors. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares. Except for MAEVA Group, LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (together, the “Financial Advisors”), the Company has not engaged any placement agent or financial advisor in connection with the sale of the Shares. No person other than the Financial Advisors is or will be entitled to a broker’s, finder’s, investment banker’s, financial advisor’s or similar fee from the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions (other than for persons engaged by any Holder) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold each Holder harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim (other than for persons engaged by any Holder). “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to a person, any other person that, directly or indirectly, Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with such person. The term “Affiliated” has the meaning correlative to the foregoing. “Control,” “Controlled,” or “under common Control with” with respect to any person, means having the ability to direct the management and affairs of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or otherwise, and such ability shall be deemed to exist when a person holds a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such person. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, MAEVA Group, LLC is not acting as a placement agent, investment banker or any other type of broker-dealer and its compensation being paid by the Company is not and does not constitute a placement agent fee, brokerage fee or any other form of transaction-based compensation.
(g) No Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their controlled Affiliates, and any person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made, or will contemporaneously make, any offers or sales of any security or solicited or will
9
contemporaneously solicit any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of any of the Shares under the Securities Act or cause this offering of the Shares to be integrated with prior or contemporaneous offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their controlled Affiliates and any person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would (i) require registration of any of the Shares under the Securities Act, (ii) cause the offering of the Shares to be integrated with other offerings in violation of the Securities Act or (iii) cause the sale and issuance of the Shares to be subject to any stockholder approval requirement, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market.
(h) Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. The Company and its Board have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, “poison pill” (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of Incorporation or the laws of the State of Delaware which is or could become applicable to any Holder as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Shares and any Holder’s ownership of the Shares. The Company has not adopted a stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company.
(i) SEC Documents; Financial Statements. During the two (2) years prior to the date hereof, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof or prior to the date of the Closing, and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, as amended and supplemented to the date hereof, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “SEC Documents”). The Company has delivered to the Holders or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of any SEC Documents that are not available on or through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“XXXXX”) system. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements), and fairly present in all material respects the financial
10
position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).
(j) Absence of Certain Changes. Except as disclosed or described in the SEC Documents filed prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Filed SEC Documents”), since December 31, 2012, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, properties, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Company has not taken any steps with any governmental agency or authority or any other regulatory or self-regulatory agency or authority to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reasonable basis to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Company represents and warrants that (A) it is in compliance in all material respects with all provisions of the Financing Facilities and any other material financing documents, (B) it is not in violation of or, in default under, the Financing Facilities or any other material financing document and, (C) based upon all information currently available to it, the Company has no reason to believe that it will be in violation of, or be in default under the Financing Facilities or any other material financing document as of the Closing Date (assuming effectiveness of the Financing Facilities Consent), whether as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, (x) “Indebtedness” of any person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services, including, without limitation, “capital leases” in accordance with GAAP (other than trade payables entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with GAAP is classified as a capital lease, (G) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any person, even though the person which owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G) above; and (y) “Contingent Obligation”
14
means, as to any person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that person with respect to any Indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another person if the primary purpose or intent of the person incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto. The issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Exchange Agreements, the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other Exchange Agreements will not result in any anti-dilution or similar adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 10% Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series A Notes”), the Series B Notes, the Company’s 6% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “6% Notes”) or any other security convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock.

(s) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged in the same or similar locations, provided that each of the Company and its Subsidiaries may self-insure to the same extent as other companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which the Company or each such Subsidiary, as applicable, operates. Except as disclosed or described in the Filed SEC Documents, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage which it sought or for which it applied during the last two (2) years. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that each of the Company and its Subsidiaries may self-insure to the same extent as other companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which the Company or each such Subsidiary, as applicable, operates.
(t) Employee Relations. The Company has filed with the SEC all of the collective bargaining agreements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party that are material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

No executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the Securities Act) has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or
15
otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary.

The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(u) Title. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property, in each case that are owned by them, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects, except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or are otherwise set forth or described in the Filed SEC Documents. Any real property and facilities that are material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, held under lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

The Company does not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding its Intellectual Property Rights which has a reasonable likelihood of adverse determination and such determination would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware of any facts or circumstances which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights, except as determined in their commercially reasonable business judgment.
(w) Environmental Laws. Except as disclosed or described in the Filed SEC Documents, the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other

approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where, in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or health and safety matters or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes regulated pursuant to Environmental Laws (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

Except as disclosed in the Filed SEC Documents, there are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.
(y) Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) that are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
